Happy Birthday Hammel!

Dear Hammel

Happy Fourth Birthday!

Four years ago today, Tony and Mads first opened Hammel to the public.

Four years is a long time, particularly in the role play world.

In those four years, we've had hundreds of players and more than a thousand characters come through. We've had great plots, wonderful posts and journal entries, and some of the best stories and graphics I've come across in role play.

On our fourth birthday, I want to thank all of the players for everything that they've done to make Hammel the wonderful site that it is.

In the same vein as past birthday messages, I want to open this thread up the members to say anything they want to on the occasion of Hammel's birthday.

Thank you for playing with us. Thank you for being here with us.


With love,
Sean and the Hammel Staff

WELL HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMMEL!

Anyways, Deb here. I've only been around for about... three months now. I think. And four years is a long long time. I've been part of a couple of RP forums that last... two months. If that. To see such a thriving and strong community is awesome, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of it. Due to this site, I've met so many great people here as well as reconnect with others I've known beforehand. The strong sense of community and friendship is just... it's amazing.

Everyone here is awesome. Even if we haven't talked, you're awesome. You're all a creative bunch of people and there are so many amazing characters, intriguing plots and others works.

Anyway, before I drown in the feels, I just wanna thank everyone here. You're all very welcoming and I am blessed to be part of the Hammelverse. Thank you all very much.

It's been a great four years. Even though I've had to cut down to one character, everyone has understood. Seeing the creative powers the players come up with has been a lot of fun. And seeing how people use positions and powers uniquely created by Tony and Mads (like gestalts and the power side effects specialist) is a lot of fun. Swing what challenges and events come around is likewise always entertaining.

Even though many of the characters I started out playing against are retired, I look forward to many new connections and many more years of hammel.

The day I registered my first charrie: October 27th

That means... almost 5 months.

5 months well spent.

Hammel is an amazing place - I found you guys just as my muse to write began to return and my old site went offline, due to the fact that the head admin was having more stress than pleasure out of running the site. That day, I went to a different section to usual, because I wanted to try something new. And I found you people.

4 years... its amazing to think. This is probably the most successful site I've ever seen, with amazing amounts of detail, planning and care put into every aspect. I really applaud anyone and everyone who has ever contributed to this site to make it as brilliant as it is today. Congratulations!

You guys are da bomb. I love you all and hope I can be here with you until the end of time for as long as possible. You're all brill, stay awesome <3

LONG LIVE HAMMEL!
